hearty approval given to Lord Sallsburys .ad-

This is all against Lord Randolph's return to

willing to do unless he does it voluntarily.

Friendly Sentiments.

Mr.. Jerry Collins of the Great Falls
TRIBUNE, yesterday packed up his house
hold goods and shipped them to Great
Falls, his future residence, and this morn
ing with his family left for that place by
private conveyance. We expect shortly
to have the pleasure of seeing him in
Benton again for few days before taking
his final leave of the city and people
whom he has faithfully and etfectually
served as editor and publisher of model
newspaper for so many years. It is need
less to remark that Mr.. Collins presence
will be sadly missed by multitude of
friends, as well as by those who only knew
him in business way; for he is univer-
sally esteemed wherever known, either in
social Or business life as much for his
quiet, unostentatious, pleasant manner. as
for his sterling worth as a man. He is a
fearless apd impartial writer, whose pen
has won for him the proud distinction Of
being tone of the best newspaper men in
Montana position that need net be des-
pissed by the proudest and best journalist
in the land.-Fort Benton Rirer Press

Milk River Coal.

Prof. Colin Napier, accompanied by
George Wren as general assistant, has gone
to Milk river TO make an examination of
the coal fields of that region. He is
thoroughly equipped for "roughing it,
and will be absent probably month.
Some weeks since the professor sent a
man to that district and has received for
examination specimens from the various
ledges that have been opened, and judg-
ing by these he is inclined to think that
some gond coal mines will be opened in
that region. The coal, he says, is peculiar
in many particulars and altogether differ
ent from any he has thus far seen in the
northwest. 1t seems probable that it will
be good article for fuel, but its value for
steam and other purposes has yet to be
ascertained. It can not be caked.

Montana's PROSPECTS.

HELENA, September 16.--The Herald
says: "Montana belongs to the railroads
that will occupy and develop it and no
divisions of territory between any two or
three companies can or ought to be enter
ed into or recognized. We are sorry for
the fact that the Union Pacific is not in
condition to do more work in Montana,
but it has no right to complain if other
roads better situated in command of their
own resources enter and take possession.
Such roads are coming and will continue
to come and spread their iron network
all over our territory. We have the pay
ing freight to induce their coming. We
have the most favorable passes through
the main range of the Rocky mountains
to the great Pacific beyond
In short article relative to the Cascade
bill the Herald says: I'VE pledge anew
the health of Cascade and the county seat
of Great Falls"

PREPARING.
Manitoba Officials in Town-Large
Traffic Expected This
Fall.

The Manitoba continues to prepare for
opening day. There arrived yesterday
Mr.. George E. Allen. district passenger
agent at Chicago and Mr.. E. G. Jaffray,
travelling passenger agent at Des Moines,
Iowa. These gentlemen, who have had
much experience in railroad affairs have
come to town to see for themselves the
location of Great Falls, the beauty of the
surrounding scenery aud the industrial
resources of this locality. They visited
the falls and Giant spring to-day and ad-
mired greatly the splendor of the scenery.
They are convinced that a great number
of tourists will visit this region and are of
opinion that every accommodation as re-
CARDS low rates will be accorded them.
The Manitoba railroad is about to revise
its maps and folders So as to give the full
lest information about the Montana ex
tension and Montana Central to business
men and the public generally. One Of the
new maps will show the country between
Chicago, st. Paul, Great Falls and San
Francisco. Another nap for shippers
will be on large scale and Great Falls
will occupy Leading place thereon.
Messrs Allen and Jaffray have come over
the railroad from St. P lul to the end of
track and will return with ample infor-
nation relative to the country traversed
by the line and the facilities for reaching
other places therefrom

sion asked was the right-of-way through
the northern Indian reservation, with no
immediate prospects of realizing any re-
turns in the way of local traffic through

now being precipitately carried into exc
cution aud almost before we realize it, we

Hold Your Cattle.


Prices of our beef product are bound to
increase. In our judgement, every man
that can, should hold his cattle; if it can
he done, each man that holds over will
make from 30 to DO per cent by the oper-
alton within eighteen months. Some of
our shrewd cattlemen are already aware
of this fact and are purchasing all the cat
tie they can get hold of without doing
any shipping, and paying as high as TWEEN
ty-sne dollars whenever an opportunity
presents to get stock-cattle. All classes
Of cattle are bound to advance and those
who will only bide their time and not be
lured by any advance of few cents will
be the gamers of handsome profits, such
as ruled in the f1ourishing years OF the
industry Stock G1uacers' Journal.
